VERSE: Dt25-06c
RASHIS COVERED: Dt25-06c Dt25-05b
======================== Dt25-06c ============================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 major methods is the use of OTHER
VERSES to clarify existing verses. Rashi can use
OTHER VERSES to a) provide more details b) justify
citations and cross references and c) to infer meaning.
We call this the RASHI METHOD of OTHER VERSES and
the RASHI SUBMETHODS of FURTHER DETAILS, CITATIONS,
and INFERRED MEANING.
EXAMPLE Dt25-05b Dt25-06c
------------------
The Biblical text states
---------------------------------------
If a brother dies without child then
the surviving brother marries the widow
and STANDS for the dead brother
---------------------------------------
Rashi explains the word STANDS
by referring to an OTHER VERSE
Ru04-01:06
-------------------------------------
The word STAND FOR THE DEAD BROTHER
means INHERIT FOR THE DEAD BROTHER.
We infer this from the passage in Ruth
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Naomi sold the estate of her late husband
Boaz informed the closer relative that he
had first rights of REDEMPTION (buyout) in
order TO STAND THE NAME OF THE DEAD ON HIS
INHERITANCE. But the closer relative did
not want to overburden his own estate and
requested Boaz to do the redemption
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
---------------------------------------
Thus we infer from the OTHER VERSE that the
meaning of STAND is THE INHERITANCE PROPERTY STANDS
(that is REMAINS) in the family.
LIST250a below gives other examples of inferring meaning
from OTHER VERSES.

NOTES
-----
*1 Ex13-20 Jews journeyed from Succoth after Exodus
Ex12-27 Exodus: Jews go from Raamsayth to Succoth
Nu33-05 Exodus, Then Raamsayth, THen Succoth
The point is that Nu33-05 makes it clear that
there were 3 places
- Exodus FROM Egypt
- TO Raamsayth
- TO Succoth.
Ex13-20 only mentions 2 of the places
Ex12-27 makes it sound like they left EGYPT, ie
they left RAAMSAYTH.
It is in fact common for places to have multiple
names. So Nu33-05 illumines that there were 3
distinct places
*2 Also see Ex30-11:16 which prohibits DIRECTLY
counting people. Instead, we must count the
COINS of each person and from this infer
the total count.
*3 Nu17-05 further illumines by calling it a MEMORIAL
Thus we have SYMBOL MEMORIAL BANNER.
Since NAYS means BANNER it refers to anything
that ATTRACTS attention such as SYMBOLS or
MIRACLES
*4 In this example the Hebrew word TaMid can mean
either CONTINUAL or CONTINUOUS depending on context.
*5 Rashi extends the meaning of GIFT TO THE DEAD to
all BURIAL RELATED MATTERS such as provision of
shrouds and the coffin
*6 Rashi notes that Gn15-17 speaks about
---------------------------------------------------
The FIRE PILLAR that TRANSITED thru the cut animals
---------------------------------------------------
Since FIRE is symbolic of PROPHETIC ENCOUNTER we infer
that GOD symbolically TRANSITED the cut animals to
affirm the CONVENANT He made with Abraham
*7 In the case of sale of estate the inheritance "leaves
the family." To STAND the inheritance is to INHERIT
the property so that the property STANDS (that is,
remains) in the family. [In passing Rashi seems to
derive certain laws from the word TOGETHER...when
brothers live TOGETHER...however I believe that all
the derivations come from the nuances of STAND)
------------------------ LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------
*10 Rashi also on this verse cites 5-6 verses to show
that the Hebrew root Nun-Vuv-Aleph means to RATTLE
However the phrase RATTLE THE VOW still needs
clarification which is done by comparing it to
Nu30-09--RATTLE VOW and ANNUL it. Since the major
part of the derivation is from the OTHER VERSE
we omit this supplemental list of verses.
